Inspired by natural forms of rock strata, tree roots and organic growths, and the colors of the African earth where I grew up. I am fascinated by the aging process and the beauty in decay.

The assembled sculpture is adorned with manmade jewelry and fabric flowers. An interaction of nature and man to create beauty!
